India: Indian Premier League corruption probe complete

9 June 2012. Ravi Sawani, the head of the Board of Cricket Control India (BCCI)’s new anti-corruption wing, has submitted his report on the allegations of corruption levelled against five domestic Indian players – Shalabh Srivastava, Mohnish Mishra, TP Sudhindra, Amit Yadav and Abhinav Bali – to board president N Srinivasan.

The report will now be studied by the BCCI disciplinary committee, which comprises Srinivasan, Arun Jaitley and Niranjan Shah (both BCCI vice-presidents). Sanjay Jagdale, the BCCI secretary, said that no date has yet been fixed for the disciplinary committee to meet. The three-man panel, after studying the report, will decide on the final action to be taken against the players.

The allegations which allude to spot-fixing and negotiating for extra illegal pay came out as a result of a sting operation carried out by India TV.
